Cheesetronic Tools

Here you will find a bunch of audio apps for unix & compatibles intended for general use. Our goal is to provide the free software community with a set of professional-quality audio tools intended for music composing.

The CheeseTronic tools are written to take advantage of the advanced APIs available on unix and other systems, such as ALSA, Jack and LADSPA.

October 29, 2003- CheeseTracker 0.9.0 released!

Instruments are now layered and can perform up to 4 simultaneous voices with individual parameters each.

Added an effect buffers system. Instruments are now routed to custom buffers (each with individual effect chains), which can also re-route to other buffers. This allows to create very complex effect routes for realtime processing.

Effect buffers are “process on demand”, which means they are smart enough to notice when they are doing nothing, thus disabling themselves.

Added RTAUDIO driver, allows for porting to Win32/ASIO and OSX/CoreAudio.

Fixed some big endian compatibility issues. CheeseTracker should work fine again on big endian machines.

MacOSX port and build system/build fixes courtesy of Benjamin Reed.

Fixed tons and tons of bugs.

AND NOW PLEASE READ:

How fast CheeseTracker reaches version 1.0 depends on YOU. The focus of this version is STABILITY. Because of this, I need to receive as many bug reports as I can, both program and build system. If you find a bug, I’d be enormously grateful if you submit it. Even if it is an obvious bug to you, chances that other people will find and report the same bug are much smaller than what you may think. If you dont report a bug that annoys you, the chances of it reappearing in the next version will allways be higher.

Planned for 1.0.0:

Rock Solid stability.

WAV exporting.

A hopefully working Windows port. This depends mainly on the Qt-Win32 project. If you are a good Windows programmer and would like to see CheeseTracker working in there sooner, please give those guys a hand!

June 23, 2003- CheeseTracker 0.8.0 released!

New features include:

Total rewrite of the interface and half the core player engine.

CheeseTracker now uses the Qt toolkit.

Nicely featured sample editor.

High amount of customization options.

Interface improvements in nearly all aspects, it should be more userfriendly and intuitive.

MDI support, many songs can be loaded and played together, for live performance or simply data exchange purposes.
